Russian hacker gang steals with impunity, says researcher

The Russian hacker gang using a Microsoft administration tool to steal passwords has cashed in big time for years, the researcher who has tracked the group's crimes said today.

A sampling of 11% of the stolen accounts found in one directory on the gang's command-and-control server found more than a quarter-million dollars at risk, said Joe Stewart, director of malware research at Atlanta-based SecureWorks Inc. Sphere: Related Content
